Viole struggled and kicked, but the huntress's grip was like a vice. She dragged him through the winding streets of the city, finally stopping at a nondescript building.
The huntress pushed Viole inside, slamming the door shut behind him. Viole found himself in a dimly lit room, the walls lined with shelves containing various potions and herbs. The air was thick with the scent of incense and something else... something metallic.
The huntress stood before him, her eyes gleaming with a fierce intensity. "My name is Ha-eun," she said, her voice low and husky. "And you, Viole, are a very lucky man."
Viole's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with questions. What did Ha-eun want from him? And what did she plan to do with him?
Ha-eun seemed to sense Viole's unease, and a small, cruel smile played on her lips. "I've been tracking Akane for weeks," she said. "And now, thanks to you, I finally have a lead."
Viole's eyes widened in surprise. How did Ha-eun know about Akane? And what did she plan to do with him now that she had him in her custody?
But before he could ask any questions, Ha-eun reached out and grabbed his wrist. "You're coming with me," she said, her voice firm and commanding. "We have a long journey ahead of us."
Viole tried to pull away, but Ha-eun's grip was too strong. He was trapped, at her mercy.
As Ha-eun dragged him deeper into the heart of the city, Viole caught glimpses of strange and ominous landmarks. They passed by a crumbling temple, its walls covered in ancient symbols of protection. They skirted the edge of a dark and foreboding forest, its trees twisted and gnarled with age.
Where were they going? And what lay ahead?
Ha-eun seemed to sense Viole's unease, and her smile grew wider. "Don't worry, Viole," she said. "You'll find out soon enough."
And with that, she dragged him into the unknown, leaving Viole to wonder if he'd ever escape Ha-eun's clutches.
